The poor old truck has had a bit of an accident....
A tyre blew off the rim at 60kmh and we ended up rolling over into a ditch, destroying the roof, back panel of the cab, warping the bulkhead, and squashing both doors. I've repaired the bulkhead without any problems, and we found a partial donor car to get the roof and back panel, but I cant find any doors!!

Does anyone have any ideas where I could keep searching? Tried All Fourx4, Ritters and a couple of English and 4wd wreckers in NSW and VIC. But no luck and I'm not willing to give up the old girl for the sake of two doors.
Any help would be appreciated and I don't care where in Australia they are.

Have you tried British Offroad on the Sunshine Coast?

They've got a number of Deefers in the wrecking yard: British Off Road - The Land Rover spare parts specialists - Now Wrecking (http://www.britishoffroad.com/nowwrecking.htm)

May be a bit of a trek for you to drive, but they can organise couriers.

Heya Steph,
If you believe their website, TRS in Adelaide is the biggest LR wrecker in the world

Good luck. I tried to get them instead of doing rust repair. The best I did was new at $1,200 each. So I repaired them all for 1,600 instead . They come up here on markets occasionally. I s told by wreckeds they could sell them all day of they had them.

G'day Cal415, I am on the lookout for doors, particulary drivers side front and rear. Keep me in mind if Redneck.Woman91 doesn't require them.

Cheers, Mick.
